Pros

Benefits are decent. It’s relaxed and supervisors trust you to do your job. There are a lot of really awesome people here.

Cons

The pay is not as competitive as it could be. Depending on your role/team, your growth can stagnate. Workload is not always fairly or equally distributed. People are often promoted at out obligation(time served) rather than the work they put in.
